After about 12 hours of traveling I teamed up with Absinthe Films in bella Italia. Great crew consisting of Mat Schaer, Wolle Nyvelt with his buddy Andreas Monsberger, Sylvain Bourbousson and filmer David Vladyka. Haven't been shooting with those guys for a pretty long time so I'm pumped!
See some snaps from yesterday below.
Went up shredding my homresort yesterday with my mates Levi and Auri. Conditions were not that good but still fun stuff to do.
The 1st trip shooting for the Nicolas Müller movie project has come to an end. I spent two epic weeks with the guys with lots of fresh powder in the beautiful south east of the Swiss Alps. Now I'm looking forward to shoot with my buddies at home again for some time before heading off to the next adventure with the NiMü crew.
Stay tuned!
Finally. The 2-year movie project of Nicolas Müller has started. Together with Absinthe Films' Patrick 'Brusti' Armbruster and Yeahh Productions Zürich genious Martin Luchsinger – I am more than happy to join Nicolas on his journey!
Some snaps from our 1st day on the mountain in St. Moritz.
Last weekend I spent shaping and shooting with my buddies Jeremiah, Auri and Levi. Also STEPS filmer Philipp Eyer and Beat Häner from SRF (swiss national TV) joined us to shoot a little documentary about me and my work with my snowboarding friends. The documentary is going to be called TOP SHOTS and will air in April 2014. Super stoked about that!
Stay tuned!
Found some fresh snow today with DBK, Levi, Volcom's very own Jan Prokes and filmer Pirmin Juffinger. It's pretty dangerous though, be safe out there!
Seriously, it's deep.
Last season I spent some time shooting with my friends from ISENSEVEN in Japan and Switzerland for their beautiful flick A WAY WE GO. They just dropped an edit with footage of Marco Smolla and Fips Strauss in Japan and DBK killing it with Stephan Maurer. Hit the play button below and enjoy pure fun and motivation!
Artist, snowboarding natural, good pal. The one and only Mike Knobel just dropped his self-made flick SWISS ARTSY KNIFE. A part of the soundtrack we recorded with me on the guitar and some vocals. Featuring tributes to Jimmy Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and many more. Enjoy!
Check out some making of snaps HERE
Mike "Aemka" Knobel presents SWISS ARTSY KNIFE - Full Movie Just like the famous Swiss Army Knife, Mike "aemka" Knobel is a jack of all trades and arguably the only snowboarder to single-handedly make an entire movie solely with his own creative and athletic powers. Only the filming was left to a handful of talented friends and professionals such as Tom Elliott, Patrick Salama, Daniel Loosli and many more. Follow Aemka on his path living a life full of snow, paint, pixels and drum-machines in a never ending quest to perfect his craft.
